Regular coke tastes like syrup.. I think the real problem is people that combine alcohol and food. What's the point of that?0

Hm, I logged whiskey and diet coke today. Frankly, I hate regular pop and haven't drank it in years, even when I was overweight. I don't see what's ridiculous about enjoying alcohol with diet pop.
Your post is a little silly.0 -

I don't understand why some are being so sensitive.This was funny. I used to laugh at the diet coke drinkers with junk on the side, but now that I'm keeping a record of my intake, I now understand. Even during my so called off days, I'm rough calculating. BTW, pizza is my weakness and when I treat myself, I get the real thing, so I get it.
Bottom line is to do what you feel will help you regardless of how others feel. 0 -
Because it's just absurd. Drinking is not supposed to be healthy, and it doesn't exactly taste good to begin with either so why make it worse with a diet soda? And since when is carbonated synthetic chemicals any healthier because it includes fake, instead of real, processed sugar? I hate to tell you this but either one can be used to fry the acid off your car battery cables. So it's just ridiculous that I type in "Rum & Coke" to the search feature and get this big list of all these drinks with Diet Coke and have to totally scroll down to get the real thing. Like you have to be kidding me. THAT MANY PEOPLE have ruined a perfectly good drink in desperation to get thin? Gimme a break!! Who drinks that often, anyway?!?!0

Oh please!!0

There are a lot of people from the UK on here and drinking is a much bigger part of their culture than it is in the states. Personally, I prefer red wine, even though white has fewer calories.0

Coke zero is pretty good with rum. Just makes you sad to waste all your hard earned calories on soda when that means you can have a 2nd or 3rd shot of rum!0

If you think that is crazy, breast milk is in the database, so apparently a member logged it into his/her diary at some point.
Kind of makes the whole diet coke thing seem tame. :bigsmile:0 -
Ugh rum and anything is disgusting.
...and diet coke and anything is disgusting.
No friends of mine shall drink either of those sad beverages!

Because I'm allergic to the high fructose corn syrup in regular Coke, so Diet Coke is my only option, unless I want to spend the night with an upset stomach, vomitting, and rashes from regular Coke (and not the alcohol, haha).
Why do you care, anyway?0 -
The original post totally reminds me of this guy
OMG I'm famous on the internet, thoughtchoo knew!! And haters, lighten up!! It's called "snark", i do it for attention so thanks for playing my egocentric little game. I win!!0 -

Did someone say that rum and diet coke is healthy? Plenty of people drink on a daily basis. Even athletes. I'm guessing you must live in a dry county or something. A lot of people consume a large percentage of their calories in liquid form.
Also, you can use your smart phone MFP app to scan a bar code on any packaged food to add it to your diary. It's much easier than trying to manually search through the database for what you need.0 -

It's not about calories if I'm drinking I'm getting trashed which usually ends in drunk munchies. I just think rum tastes better with diet same for Jim Beam with regular coke it's way too sweet for me.0

Why bother with the coke at all :drinker:
soooo this ^^^ 0 -
Breast milk!! This is funny - do you think it comes low or not fat ? :laugh:0

I was actually trying to log a rum and coke today and it took me forever to find it without diet coke. >_<
If you like diet coke, that is your thing. I'm one to cut calories where I can. I'm just surprised that rum and diet coke is in there 15-20 times before rum with regular coke.0 -

THIS. HAPPENED!!0 -
I don't really get this tbh...however every small thing makes a difference. Personally when I drink I'll have vodka and soda water with lemon juice. I honestly will gain a lot of weight drinking wine, but when I have vodka with water my weight doesn't change too much. Also reduces hangovers cos it keeps ya hydrated
It's really not that funny trying to make healthy choices whilst drinking. That's why they have light beer and all that stuff. I think it's a good idea.
Although I try and restrict drinking to weekends and I don't log it lol.0 -
I don't like regular coke.
right? stuff makes my teeth hurt!! so. much. sugar. lol
then again the aspartame in diet coke is terrible too.
i agree, if you really like rum and coke, splurge and treat yourself every so often.
all in moderation, right?0 -

Do you just mean hard alcohol? I don't think pairing wine or beer with food is pointless at all. A curry and an IPA or wine and fish, etc. - fantastic!
Also an aperitif can be really nice.
For me, I don't understand people who drink just to get drunk, but hate the taste of alcohol. Then you end up with all these weird drinks like Smirnoff Ice and Bacardi Breezers which I'm pretty sure you can use for embalming.0 -
You'll have to live large for the rest of us.0

I agreeSome people prefer the taste of Diet Coke to regular Coke. I, for one, think regular Coke tastes nasty. Diet coke has a better taste, so I would drink Diet Coke. It isn't about the cals.0 -
When's the bar fight?0

Bc drinking rum straight up wouldn't be very good..
I be takin' offence to that.0 -
6oz of cola 70 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 140kcal
60z of diet cola 0 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 70kcal.
you can easily save 350 kcal in a night of drinking.0 -
I prefer diet coke as a mixer. I can taste the bourbon more with diet coke.0
